Ontario Expands New HST Rebate
On New Homes

The Government of Ontario recently unveiled a massive push to boost housing supply and make homeownership more affordable. The headline news from this initiative is a substantial expansion of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) rebate program. For everyday families looking to transition into
a brand-new home, to first time home owners, this updated policy represents a historic level of tax relief designed to cut closing costs and keep more money in your pocket.

How much can I actually save with
the HST expansion?

The provincial government’s enhanced housing initiative introduces a temporary, massive reduction in closing costs. Under this program, eligible buyers can see the full 13% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) completely removed on new construction properties valued up to $1 million. For qualifying properties priced between $1 million and $1.2 million, the savings could be as high as $130,000. This combined federal and provincial relief is designed to dramatically lower the barrier to homeownership, potentially keeping tens of thousands of dollars in your pocket at closing.

We believe in complete pricing transparency, which is why we’ve mapped out exactly how much you save on our featured builds below

Is there a deadline or specific timeline to qualify for this HST relief

Yes, there is a time frame in which buyers are eligible for rebate, though it is quite a large time frame, involving both date of purchase and date of completed construction on the home. New homes with an agreement of purchase on or after April 1st 2026, to on or before March 31st 2027 are eligible for the new HST expansion and must also start construction on or before December 31st 2028, and be finished on or before December 31st 2031.
